At work a lot of times, people will ask me "Hey, what's a good scary movie??" and I usually reply "None! I hate horror films, but some good suspenseful ones are..."etc. I can't stand the gore of it, and I seem to get affected more than most people by the mood of a piece. (IE sad movies make me all depressed-like, whereas happy movies can lift me out of a funk [especially if they're shitty girl movies])
So today in my Intro to Film class, we were supposed to be watching Jaws. I get in just far enough where they catch the first shark, a lil' guy, and they're arguing about opening up it's belly and the major says something about not wanting to see the kid's body all half digested and stuff. (We hadn't seen the shark yet, mind you)
It had been building up for a while-since the kid first died-and woops I start having a god-damned panic attack. FROM JAWS. (JAWS!!!) This is my second only since I started taking pills for it, and I decided "Well, if I stay here, I am going to have a full-blown panic attack and not just the beginning of one" so I go up front to the teacher and explain to him about my panic disorder and could I please watch Casablanca instead? (That was the one that was scheduled, but he changed it) So thank God the P-vids had that one... Then I took a xanax and passed out on the couch for a while as Nikki watched tv.
It was funny though when I went to work to get it, and Tyler put his hands like a fin on his back and went "da-DUM! ... da-DUM! ... Da-DUM-DA-DUM-DADUMDADUMDADUM" and ran at me.
